    Buddy, I can guarantee you there are GameStop employees who don’t know that “cod” means “Call of Duty”. Sucks for the parent, but a good lesson for the kid.

            Nah, I’m way too tall for that - grew out of it.

            But on a serious note, learning that clear communication is necessary is an important lesson, and it’s way better to learn that from something recreational than something important.
